Chapter 22
"I'm not crazy, Natasha. I know you are only with my uncle for money."
Was it for money? Natasha was a little stunned instantly. At first, Edward promised to provide her with college tuition so she just went with the flow. But after knowing him a little bit, she treated him not only as simply as a deal, but also as a relative.
Her mother had made her sad, and only Edward was good to her. So she decided to treat him well.
Seeing Natasha did not speak, Jake thought what he said was right. He did not expect that what Maxine said was true, and he did not expect that Natasha was really a woman who only wanted money.
With that thought, he shook his head, looked at Natasha, and continued, "Natasha, am I right? I used to like you so much, and Maxine used to treat you as a friend. You turned out to be such a person."
"What kind of person am I?" Natasha had been staring into his eyes. "You really believed Maxine?"
"Maxine told me everything."
"What did she say?"
"She said you went to her house to borrow money, and she said you were with my uncle because of his money."
"Ah..." Natasha understood everything, and sure enough these were the ghosts of Maxine. In the past, she trusted Maxine so much, she regarded Maxine as her best friend and shared everything with Maxine, but at that moment, Maxine not only stole her boyfriend, but also made rumors about her.
"Natasha, I also have money. As long as you leave my uncle, I can give you as much as you want."
Jake's words gouged out her heart like a knife. She looked at the man she liked before, but he looked at her with hatred of evil, without the slightest warmth of the old days.
What's the use of such a man? Just by a few words from others who wronged her, after being with her for so long, he still did not know in his heart? In that case, it was enough to see that his trust in her was so unbearable.
She looked at him calmly. "Jake, did I ask you even a penny when I was with you before? So in your heart, I am so unbearable?" Then she got up and was very tired with all her heart. "I felt insulted. I never felt like a money lover. I'm also disappointed in you."
But sometimes money was a joke of her fate. If it was not for money, she wouldn't have been married right now. If it was not for money, she wouldn't have made a deal with Edward.
But Jake had been carried away at the moment. He did not care so much. He just looked at her.
"Natasha, my uncle could not stand cheating. Let him go! I can give you as much money as you want, please leave my uncle alone."
Natasha sneered at her heart. She had completely given up on Jake.
When Jake went downstairs, Fred was already standing in the living room. It seemed that he had heard the quarrel between the two people upstairs.
He looked at Jake with a cold face. "You are a man, why did you get angry with Natasha?"
Looking at his eccentric grandfather, Jake was wronged, but he could not say anything, so he could only deny that he did not.
But Fred did not believe it. Although he did not hear what they said, he knew that it was not a small matter.
Jake also wanted to say something, but he understood Natasha's position at home. She was his uncle's favorite person, and his uncle was also the family's greatest wish. It could be said that Natasha was the last thing the whole family could not provoke.
Since Natasha came, Jake had been beaten every time.
Being scolded by his grandmother, Jake was better than a little. He did not expect Edward and Sam to come back at dinner time.
Natasha had been in the bedroom and refused to come out, Jake thought that Natasha must be doing it intentionally, and wanted him to get scolded again. Edward just came back and did not know what was going on, but Fred immediately brought the topic. "It must be Jake, this boy made Natasha angry."
"Why is it my fault again?! I said it was not my fault, and it has nothing to do with me." Jake jumped up and retorted. He did not know why, but Natasha's status at home was already so high. Why did he pass the blame to his grandson? He and his uncle were closest before, but now it seemed that his nephew was nothing to Edward.
As soon as he came back, Edward went upstairs to see Natasha. Fred looked at everything in his eyes. Sure enough, Jake had a good education. How could he bully Natasha?
Edward was pushed upstairs by Sam, Natasha was suffering from shrinking in the quilt, and she bit her teeth with a burst of colic from her lower abdomen. Edward thought she was secretly crying under the quilt when he came in from behind. He passed slowly from behind, and what he saw was the painful side of Natasha, she was not crying. What happened?
Edward looked at Sam, and Sam hurriedly went downstairs to call their family's private doctor. Edward gently stroked her back from behind to comfort her.
He thought she had a quarrel with Jake, and she did not go down to eat when she was angry. He did not expect her to get sick.
The doctor came and looked at Natasha. Edward looked at him and asked, "How is Natasha?"
Natasha had been awake at the moment. When she opened her eyes, she saw a group of men in her room, and she blushed instantly. Especially when she knew that there was a personal doctor of the Busch family, she was in a dilemma.
Of course, private doctors understood her reason when he saw Natasha begging him not to say anything. Just when he did not know how to speak, Edward's oppression made him breathless.
"This is a normal phenomenon for girls, who come every month. As long as you pay attention to your diet these days, do not eat too spicy and too cold, just drink brown sugar water." The doctor hurriedly looked at Edward, saying those word after word, and then took up the medicine box and left. Sam also coughed twice, and took the door when he left.
Natasha was ashamed and was silent in bed, but Edward did not feel anything.
"Why did you not tell me about it? I was worried for so long."
"I..." She was embarrassed and she felt warm in her heart. "I am embarrassed …" And the incident happened so suddenly, who knew he would call the doctor, now they knew.
